Film Screening: The Clean Bin Project
Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer are makers of a documentary film "about a regular couple and their quest to answer the question: 'is it possible to live completely waste free'?". They are cycling across Canada, showing the film in communities along the way. They are stopping in Kingston in mid August.
From the film website:
"Partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least landfill garbage in an entire year. Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the sobering problem of waste in North American society." Go to the website at http://www.cleanbinmovie.com/about/ if you would like to read more, or see the short movie trailer.
